Whether they make tourney or not makes no difference to Danny in his support of Romar.

Wyman: I support Romar because he's such a good guy.

I don't have anything against Romar but how about some standards?

    Chuck Powell is the only one in Seattle questioning Romar. He's been saying all week that there's no excuse for not making the tournament with this king of talent. I was actually enjoying listening to him the other day. At commercial, I switched to 710 and literally right as I switched, I heard:

    "Lorenzo Romar deserves to be the head coach at UW as long as he wants. I don't care what his record is".

    Can I help out the #fireromar crew with a little tidbit. Stop using "keep local talent home" argument as to why romar should be fired. It gives idiots like O'neil a platform to argue an asinine response.

    Romar has done a very good job of keeping the majority of kids home which is about all you can ask for when it comes to a coach. Nobody keeps all talent within it's boarders as some kids just want to leave.

    Here are a few of the gems that are coming out of O'neill's twatter responses.

    A response to the small school zags making the dance so many years in a row - "zags ftball teams sucks". Wow, just wow

    OSU and oregon have recently made hires that have been successful early on - "and now you're point to osu as a model for uw to emulate?" - Yes danny, yes. It's ironic you can't see that when OSU gets it more than UW it's incredibly sad and pathetic.

    To the multitude of posts about how people like danny claim UW can't find a better option than romar so why fire him? "Name the last UW coach to be better than romar?" or "didn't LR take UW to 6 of 8 tournies? Were you disappointed then?"

    We need to bring out the romar defenders playbook again.

    Danny states unequivocally that if UW hires a new coach who does really well, he will automatically leave for a better job. But with Romar, we have someone who wants to be a lifer, so stick with that.

    I'm absolutely shocked that Danny would make these concrete assumptions like that based on nothing more than pulling stuff out of his ass. He is usually a rationale thinker. I'm not sure what's going on here.

    I barely watch UW basketball, they lost me as a fan a few years ago, so I don't care that much one way or another and have nothing against Romar. But again, the lack of standards and the beaten wife syndrome from fans and media leave me perplexed.

    Romar has 3rd highest win % in UW history in Pac play. I doubt UW can/will make a better hire than Romar. If UW fires Romar, it's more likely that UW has a string of 3-4 shitty coaches until they find someone decent.
    I think UW will make the tourney next year and possibly go deep. Even if they make it in somehow this year, they'll simply just get knocked out in the first round.

    Before I was purged from Softy's page, my early comments were all about Romar. Were I still on the page, I don't think I'd even be commenting since their devout commitment to Romar has made me not THINK or CARE about the program.

    Cohen will come out at the end of the year, regardless of the outcome, and say how much promise the team showed, how young they were, the recruits, and that UW is lucky to have Romar.

    Unless the program is losing the AD money, they won't dump him since he has the occasional banner year and they market the crap out of the team enough to get stupid people interested
